Naysayers

[cowboys1981]

If y'all aren't happy with this team's performance in light of everything that surfaced leading up to the game, it's time you jump on another bandwagon.

Did the offense look great? No, but they managed to put enough points up to win the game; which I thought is all that matters. In those conditions on the road, our boys showed up and virtually ended NY's season. Say what you want about "one bad team beat another".... Point is we're in first and over .500. How many teams that are fighting for a playoff spot 5-6?? Thx!

Defense was struggling in stopping the run. They also tightened up when it mattered in the red zone and on the 4th down attempt NY failed on. Getting Lee back for Chicago will be perfect timing..

My point is some of y'all are still living with the 90's success/expectations. This is a new generation of football and this is the state of the Cowboys. Could we be better? Yes. Could we be worse? Yes! If you don't like what you see, don't burden yourself on game days half heartily cheering for our team. Be 50/50 somewhere else!

Give the boys props for what they did and use the same assertion in doing so as you would when y'all come on here to bash every angle, aspect, player and coach after a loss.

Sorry but I will not accept mediocrity and sloppy football just because the Cowboys are my team.

I've seen time and time again where this road leads.

I'm happy we won but come on.. All these mistakes will eventually get us laughed off the field in an elimination game.

There were things to be happy about last night and things that make you sick to your stomach.

I'll take the win and I don't appologize for it. It's a win. I love it.

There are things that cause me to have some concern however.

The defense first and foremost.

Now I'll give them their credit where it is due. Two things stood out BIG TIME for me last night from them from the positive side of things. #1 those two goal to go situations were fantastic stands by the defense. Those 8 points were obviously HUGE. Great job by the D there.

#2 Scandrick absolutely beasting Cruz out of the game. Cruz wasn't a factor in favor of his team, at all. THe only factor he made in the game was helping his team lose with his fumble. Scan was brilliant last night.


Now the big thing that really worries me. Is the middle of the defense this terrible without Sean Lee? 200+ yards rushing, most of it right up the gut? Really?

Hey I know we've got injuries. I know Lee is the man. But are you serious? Allowing 200+ yards right up the gut? That's more than a little concerning. My biggest issue there is that we honestly got lucky that the Giants OC is a complete bonehead and didn't run it up the gut even more. He killed his own drives by going to the pass when there was absolutely ZERO reason to do so. THey'd come out and gash us right up the middle for three or four quality runs in a row and then their ******* OC would call three straight passes.

Good for us but we lucked out there. It could have been MUCH WORSE up the middle on us.

I can't wait for Lee to get back. It's obvious this defense isn't capable of securing the middle of the field against the run, at all, without him.


I also would like to point out once again how clutch Tony Romo, and Dez Bryant, were when the Cowboys needed them the most.

 

[cowboys1981]

Yup and they're coming to arrest you EGG

 

[Frozen700]

Yes everybody, if you are not happy please leave. You have to be pleased, how dare you if not?

Just drive the car off the bridge if you are unhappy.

Yeah, the run defense is shaky without Lee. We really need him in there. With Lee, this game is won by 10 pts.

Despite the inconsistencies on offense our boys came together when it mattered most.

I enjoy watching football. If I get to were it is not fun I will stop watching.

I think a lot of people who complain after a win do it because they think it makes them look important or gets them attention. Not everyone of course.

[perrykemp]

I'm happy with the win.

I think the Cowboys will make the playoffs which I'll be happy about but I am under no illusion that they won't get bounced right out.

 

[links18]

"Being happy with the win" and "being happy with the performance" are two totally different things.

 

[cowboys1981]

I'm happy with the win.

I think the Cowboys will make the playoffs which I'll be happy about but I am under no illusion that they won't get bounced right out.

That's fair. My issue is with those that can't even enjoy a win and are quick to acknowledge just the negative things won or lose.

 

[khiladi]

And in other news..

Garrett still sucks and him and his crew still need to get canned this off-season...

Cowboys played a hard fought game and was able to pull it out very happy with the results. No doubt the team is not where I would like to see them right now but given it was divisional rival fighting for their lives at their house and in cold and windy weather the Cowboys took care of their business. Raiders right around the corner need to get that win then another break for the final push.

I agree with pretty much everything you said here. Well done.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Nothing complete with coffee than the annual callout thread for fans that don't fit someone's criteria after a win.

So what about Denver and Knowshon Moreno with his 200+ yards? Kevin Gilbride passed because we started keying on the run and stopping it. This isn't college football where the Navy qb and rb can just run 95% of the game and expect to win. The Giants OC had to throw once in awhile and keep us honest. Sorry but as bad as our d was, I have to give them credit for some key stops.

You are 100% completely powerless to change anything regarding the performance of the Dallas Cowboys.

That's the hilarity of the whining, sniveling, entitled fans here. Your "standard" is totally and completely meaningless.

No one owes you wins, much less Super Bowls.

You pick and chooser your team and you will get what you get.

This is a mediocre football team. If you can't enjoy that good luck finding a non-mediocre football team.

The only people who care at all is other fans who get tired of hearing this non-stop crying.
The team is over .500 and in first place. It hasn't lost a division game all year.
The talent on the field is barely mediocre right now.
If you want to change the outcomes of games go repair Brian Waters injury.
If you can not do that then shut up and enjoy the friggin wins.

I disagree. Individually, yeah, your right. But collectively our voice matters.

Jerry Jones feels heat from this. If he didn't he would still have Dave Campo coaching this team.

He spouts his crap about Garretts job being safe last week, the fans get upset, and he catches heat the rest of the week about that statement.

Also, regarding the mediocre talent, that is the NFL. 95% of the NFL is mediocre. Mediocre teams win Superbowls in this league so that is no excuse. Dallas has all the talent they need to accomplish winning the ultimate prize.

What they don't have is coaches that give them any type of advantage.


BTW, this is a message board so if you don't like it then maybe you should go find Hostile and his crew so you can just compliment everything this team does and act like everything is processing in the right direction.
